[REBOL]Right click on a MAC
[1/4] from: sanghabum:aol at: 31-Aug-2001 17:18
Hi all,
I don't have access to a MAC, but I'm writing some code that may one day have
to run on one....Should be a doddle in Rebol, of course.
But don't MAC mice have just one button? Could someone with a MAC tell me how
Rebol/MAC handles right click---i.e. is this code feasible?
unview/all
view layout [button "Click me" [print "left"] [Print "right"]]
I'd be interested too if there are any (other) features I need to be wary off
in aiming for Win/MAC compatibility.
Thanks,
Colin.

Hi,
I think if you hold down the mouse about a second or more, a right-mouse
event is triggered!
Not sure, but worth a try
cheers!

Contrary to popular belief, Unix IS user-friendly...
its just picky on who it considers a friend

It will be, but not today... I'm writing down a long list of small
(and not so small) incompatibilities. As soon as I'll get time to
reorder my notes, I will submit them to REBOL Tech's feedback.
Some flash:
1. Launching script from Desktop doesn't work;
2. I have problems pasting text from clipboard into the area style
(it loses LF, etc...)
3. I have a customized event-loop which works perfectly on Windows
and then it has a strange behaviour on Mac
4. Text seems to be bigger on Mac than on Windows (I had to make
platform-sensitive the width of my menus...)
Some of these problems could be due to my unexperience in REBOL/Mac
programming, but some are not. So be careful...

CTRL + click is the Mac equivalent for right click.
I haven't tried still to trap it with REBOL, though.

Hi Paolo,
Thanks. It must be doubly frustrating trying Rebol out under MAC. Not only is
Rebol in general undocumented and occasionally flaky, but View is brand new
on MAC so you are doing the groundbreaking work as (maybe) the first user. I
hope Feedback are responsive when you contact them,
